What else can I help you with?
If stomach acid has a pH of about 2 what can you reach about the pH of an antacid solution that is used to neutralize excess stomach acid?
An antacid solution used to neutralize excess stomach acid would have a higher pH than stomach acid, typically closer to 7 or slightly above to effectively neutralize the acid. This means that the antacid solution would be less acidic and more basic compared to stomach acid.
Would adding an antacid to an acidic solution be effective in treating heartburn?
Yes. It serves to neutralize the acid prior to ingestion.
If you tested a dissolved antacid with litmus what colour would it turn?
If the antacid is basic, litmus paper would turn blue. If the antacid is acidic, litmus paper would turn red.
Is carbonate of magnesia climbing chalk the same as carbonate of magnesia antacid?
Both climbing chalk and antacid may contain magnesium carbonate as an ingredient. However, the purity and formulation of the magnesium carbonate used in each product may differ. Climbing chalk is typically designed for better grip and moisture absorption, while antacids are used to neutralize stomach acid. It's important to use each product for its intended purpose.
What kind of substance is bicarbonate?
Potassium Bicarbonate (KHCO3) is a compound chemically similar to sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) or baking soda. Given that the category is food and cooking, I would say that potassium bicarbonate could be used as a baking soda substitute for those who need to limit their sodium intake.

How can titration be used to determine which antacid is the best?
Titration can be used to make sure that the base used in these tasks are standardized. This is important in finding out which antacid is the best because all the bases will have the same impact.
What substance would most neutralize an acidic food?
it would be baking soda
If you tested a dissolved antacid with litmus what colour would it turn?
If the antacid is basic, litmus paper would turn blue. If the antacid is acidic, litmus paper would turn red.
What is neutralization process?
A neutral substance has a pH of 7. If you have an acidic substance and wanted to neutralize it, you would have to add an alkaline substance to it. And example of this would be for indigestion or heartburn, you would take a tablet containing alkaline. This tablet neutralizes the acid in your stomach. These tablets are known as antacids.
How does indigestion remedy help indigestion?
that remedy is called antacid and is helps with indigestion because you can the remedy 'antacid'. antacid contains weak bases.bases neutralize acid by reacting with them to form water and a salt. the reason the weak bases are used instead of strong bases is because strong bases would neutralize to much acid and would most likely kill you.
What is the control on the penny water drops experiments?
In this experiment, the control group would be the penny! The independent variable is the substance/water on the penny, and the dependent is how many drops the penny takes.
Is dissolving antacid in water a physical or chemical change?
Though antacid R) is not a pure, chemically defined compound, the answer is most expectedly: "Physical only".R) "An antacid medical tablet may contain any substance, generally a base or basic salt, which neutralizes stomach acidity"It wouldn't be nice, would it, for the stomach if a chemical reaction took place when taking the tablet with water.
What is the process where an acidic solution becomes neutral?
That would be called neutralization, and it is done by adding an alkaline substance of some kind. Acids and alkalines neutralize each other.
How high would water and antacid go?
About 100 feet.
Why is potassium hydroxide not an antacid?
Well, it would certainly neutralize stomach acid. The problem is that it's a very strong base and would do quite a bit of damage in the process. Antacids are usually salts of a strong base with a weak acid (sodium hydrogen carbonate, for example) which react with stomach acid to form a buffer solution.
